Both obviously written by Mac bigots for Mac bigots.
I've posted negative comments on the first of these.

I'm reminded of a letter the pre-"Abso!ute Sound"
Harry Pearson wrote to "Stereophile" roughly 40 years
ago. He said he didn't like electrostatic speakers
because he didn't like the kind of /people/ who liked
electrostatics.
This is a big part of my problem with Apple products.
The Apple-lovers' attitude of "we're right, everyone
else is wrong" is galling. But I tolerated it, until
Apple decided that the best way to promote the Mac
was to lie.
One rarely sees reviews of this sort. Even the PC
mags lean toward "Apple good, Microsoft bad".

Apple products are a lot like cigarettes... People
are pressed to like Apple products because it's cool
to do so, just as it's cool to smoke.
Who gives a **** what computer I, you or someone else
uses?
Have we become so insecure that we define ourselves by
our toys?
I had hoped for better.
Let's get back to pro-audio, guys. This Mac vs PC
nonsense has gone too far. While I admit that I did
help instigate it when I responded to some incorrect
information that someone posted about Macs, but tI
didn't start it and that's DONE. We need to get over
this. You use what computer works best for you, just
like buy whatever vehicle works best for you. They make
different computers and different OSes because
different people like or need different things. It's
called choice, and I would like just one of you guys to
tell us in what way choice is BAD?
Easy, big boy. I don't think anyone's accusing *you* of
being a Mac bigot, and what you write is true. However,
the fact remains that there's a whole lot of Mac bigotry
alive and well out there, and it ought to be addressed.
And addressing it will do what?
Provide the people on the computer platform advocacy groups something to
fill their empty days.
If you post it there. Posting it here will bore everyone to tears, or at
least it will bore ME to tears 8^)
